Strengths

- “Kind and compassionate staff greet them warmly as they arrive at school each morning.”
- “Pupils who are new to the school, including those who speak English as an additional language, settle in quickly.”
To improve
- “In 2023, some pupils’ attainment in reading at the end of key stages 1 and 2 was significantly below the national average.”
- “This was also true for pupils’ end of key stage 1 attainment in writing.”
- “In a few subjects, including some areas of learning in the early years, the school is still determining the knowledge that pupils should acquire and the order in which this should be taught.”
